Sand Grove Responds to Results of the Extraordinary General Meeting Regarding Proposed Changes to the Board and Nomination Committee of Otello

Sand Grove Capital Management LLP (“Sand Grove”) notes the results of the Extraordinary General Meeting held today to vote on proposed changes to the Board and Nomination Committee of Otello Corporation ASA (“Otello” or the “Company”).

Whilst Sand Grove is disappointed that shareholders have in a majority voted against its proposals for the Board of Directors of the Company and the Nomination Committee of the Company, we note that the votes were exceptionally close. Sand Grove’s sole objective was to put in place a Board with the breadth of experience and abilities required to deliver value for all shareholders. We do not believe that this result is a strong endorsement of the current Board of Directors and Nomination Committee.

Sand Grove remains committed to changing Otello’s corporate governance for the benefit of all shareholders and will review next steps in the coming days. We anticipate updating all Otello stakeholders in the near term.

Otello (Buy, TP: NOK48.00) - AdColony proceeds not reflected

While Otello’s share price has re-rated somewhat following the announced agreement to sell AdColony to Digital Turbine, in our view the market has yet to fully reflect the underlying value of Otello’s holdings or the implications of the proceeds to be raised from the sale. Following the AdColony trading update, we have raised our estimates and lifted our target price to NOK48 (40) to reflect the bid. We reiterate our BUY.

Otello (Buy, TP: NOK40.00) - Bemobi listed; poised for rise

Bemobi finally listed, albeit with a valuation significantly below our assessment. Regardless, we continue to see significant upside potential to Bemobi’s valuation, as well as solid value uplift inherent in AdColony and Vewd. With Bemobi now listed on the B3, we see the Otello case as de-risked, and still likely to re-rate. We reiterate our BUY with a lowered NOK40 (43) target price.
